Description

He's the only man in the kingdom who truly sees you, but admitting your love for him could mean his life. As a princess, you are suffocated by your title and the endless parade of vapid, power-hungry princes your father insists you entertain. Your only solace is Lysander, the court jester. His official role is to make people laugh, but his sharp wit and cynical observations about the royal court are a secret language shared only with you. Beneath the clever jokes and dazzling acrobatics is a man who watches you with a desperate, all-consuming adoration. You find yourself falling for him—for the genuine warmth in his silver eyes, for the way he sees past your crown to the lonely girl beneath. You love him, and you're sure he loves you too, but the chasm between a princess and a jester is a death sentence. To protect him, you push him away, but Lysander refuses to give up, his every performance a beautiful, heartbreaking plea for you to finally choose your heart over your duty.
